Thank you for your concern, thank you very much. My body is no longer in trouble.
In fact, if I have to say it, maybe it was not in trouble at the beginning...
This is what happened specifically.
On the morning of December 31, the last day of 2021, I suddenly felt unwell. When I measured my body temperature at 38.5 degrees, I took a taxi to the fever clinic of the hospital.
As usual, nucleic acid was tested first. While waiting for the nucleic acid results, the doctor prescribed Lianhua Qingwen for me and asked me to wait in the observation room of the fever clinic.
After taking Lianhua Qingwen, my body temperature did not drop but rose. Seeing that I was getting worse and worse, the nurse urgently called the doctor from the fever clinic and prescribed me an antibiotic drip.
——I later learned that the fever clinic prescribed medicine that was meaningless to my illness twice.
My temperature kept rising while I was on the drip. When the nucleic acid test results came out and I could go to the hospital, I had already had a fever of 40.5 degrees. I was completely confused, so I was pushed to the emergency room.
The emergency room doctor asked about my symptoms and then checked my blood. He initially determined that I had a viral infection. But when he saw the electrocardiogram, the doctor's attitude changed. He called doctors from other departments for a consultation. A doctor who was probably a cardiologist looked at my electrocardiogram and asked me if I had chest tightness. After I nodded, the hospital issued me a critical illness notice.
Viral myocarditis. That's how the doctor judged it.
Then, I was sent to the ICU. The ICU used a method that ordinary departments would not use to reduce my fever. That night, the fever subsided. Then, I started to have diarrhea.
At this time, the director of the ICU stood in front of my bed and told me a piece of trivia that might be very useful.
Acute attacks of viral gastroenteritis sometimes look very similar to viral myocarditis.
During acute attacks of viral gastroenteritis, if there is a fever, there is a certain probability that the "high fever" state will replace the "diarrhea" state, making it difficult to judge.
That is, "You think I have myocarditis, but in fact I have gastroenteritis that looks like myocarditis."
Although that's what I said, the symptoms of these two diseases are indeed highly similar.
Moreover, what if the virus enters the Eight Wonders realm!
"You think I have gastroenteritis that looks like myocarditis, but in fact I have myocarditis that looks like gastroenteritis that looks like myocarditis" like this...
Or simply myocarditis and gastroenteritis!
Therefore, the director of the ICU believes that I must stay in the ICU for a few more days to completely rule out the possibility of myocarditis.
After the 31st, I was hospitalized from the 1st to the 6th. Except for the last two days when I could be transferred to the general ward because of the fever, I spent the rest of the time in the ICU.
To be honest, I was very embarrassed in this ward where people were not allowed to get out of bed.
Just imagine, when your fellow patients are all patients who could die at any time, and you are just a gastroenteritis with diarrhea...
Even if you can't control yourself and solve it in bed, you are embarrassed to urge the nurse to hurry up...
Especially... you can actually get out of bed to solve it yourself, but the ward does not allow it...
It's really torture!
The monitoring equipment in the ICU is also very worried about my health. It firmly believes that the data of my throat tube is abnormal - or it is wrong for someone like me who lives in the ICU not to have a throat tube inserted, and it will alarm every few seconds.
It's very noisy.
I asked the nurse if she could turn it off. The nurse told me that this instrument "will alarm when **parameters exceed **ranges" is fixed, and it is impossible to turn off a single monitoring item.
This is probably the legendary "foolproof design"...
But for me, it's like a torture device...
In addition, there is an arterial needle and a deep vein puncture needle inserted in my body, and I can't move.
I just have a more severe gastroenteritis...
When I left the ICU, the nurse in the distance exclaimed "Why did he stand up." My nurse was shocked, thinking that she shouldn't let me stand up and should let me lie down. I instantly became the focus of the whole place, all the nurses were looking at me, and even when I walked out, a nurse asked if she could take a picture of my back.
Because you may not see one person who can walk out of that ward standing in a year.
After that, I stayed in the general ward for a few more days. But fortunately, I was discharged smoothly yesterday.
Don't worry about the update. The ICU costs less than 10,000 a day. I have successfully gone bankrupt. I can't do it without working hard. It's just that the long ICU life is really very torturous. Please allow me to take a breath for two more days, and then continue to update.
In addition, I have received your gifts one after another. The flower basket is also very beautiful. Thank you for your blessings.
